| Summary: | T Hunter Newsom,1 Brian Szabo,1 Kayla Unsell,1 Chase Newsom,1 Brooke Ayers Newsom,1 Brad Hall2 1Newsom Eye, Sebring, FL, USA; 2Sengi, Penniac, NB, CanadaCorrespondence: T Hunter Newsom, Newsom Eye, 4211 US Hwy 27 N, Sebring, FL, 33870, USA, Tel +1-813-908-2020, Email hunter@newsomeye.netPurpose: To evaluate visual outcomes and quality of vision following bilateral implantation of a hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) in eyes targeted for emmetropia.Methods: This was a prospective, single arm study. Subjects were bilaterally implanted with the Clareon PanOptix IOL and evaluated at 1 and 3 months postoperatively. Endpoints included binocular uncorrected and distance-corrected visual acuities at distance (UDVA, CDVA), intermediate (UIVA, DCIVA; 60 cm), and near (UNVA, DCNVA; 40 cm, 33 cm), defocus curve, manifest refraction, and administration of a visual disturbance questionnaire (QUVID) and a satisfaction questionnaire (IOLSAT).Results: A total of 24 subjects (48 eyes) completed the study. Mean postoperative binocular CDVA, DCIVA (60 cm), DCNVA (40 cm), and DCNVA (33 cm) were − 0.04 ± 0.08 logMAR, − 0.08 ± 0.10 logMAR, 0.01 ± 0.10 logMAR, and 0.04 ± 0.11 logMAR, respectively. Mean postoperative binocular UDVA, UIVA (60 cm), UNVA (40 cm), and UNVA (33 cm) were 0.02 ± 0.19 logMAR, − 0.08 ± 0.09 logMAR, 0.04 ± 0.12 logMAR, and 0.08 ± 0.15 logMAR, respectively. Overall, postoperative spectacle independence at distance, intermediate, and near were 100%, 93%, and 73%, respectively. A total of 9%, 12%, and 0% of subjects were bothered “quite a bit” or “very much” by halos, starburst, and glare, respectively.Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that bilateral implantation with the Clareon PanOptix can achieve excellent visual outcomes, high spectacle independence, and low reports of bothersome dysphotopsia.Plain Language Summary: The natural lens inside the eye may eventually become opaque (develop a cataract). When that happens, it can be removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). There are a variety of IOLs to choose from. For patients desiring spectacle independence, trifocal IOLs may be good option as this type of IOL is designed to provide clear vision to see far, arm’s length, and up close objects. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the visual outcomes and quality of vision following bilateral implantation of a new hydrophobic acrylic IOL (Clareon PanOptix). The results of this study suggest that bilateral implantation with the Clareon PanOptix can achieve excellent visual outcomes, high spectacle independence, and low reports of bothersome dysphotopsia.Keywords: PanOptix, Clareon, cataract surgery |
